Labour Party, LP Presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi has slammed the government of President Bola Tinubu for arraigning minors who participated in the recent EndBadGovernance protest.

Reacting on Friday, Obi called on the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federation, the Police and the DSS, as well as the National Human Rights Commission, to thoroughly investigate the inhuman treatment of minors to avert such occurrences in the future.

Recall that 76 persons were arraigned on Friday at the Federal High Court in Abuja for participating in the recent EndBadGovernance protest.

One of the minors arraigned collapsed before the commencement of the trial.

However, in a post on his X handle on Friday, Obi said most of the people in government today leveraged the Constitution, standing as champions of good governance while in opposition.

He said: ‘I just watched the disturbing and condemnable scenes captured in a circulating video, showing 124 protesters—among them minors—appearing in court today as part of efforts to secure the enforcement of their fundamental rights.

”The footage reveals minors, some so weak that they could barely stand, others fainting from sheer exhaustion and lack of nourishment.

These children appeared visibly malnourished and starved—a condition that should alarm the conscience of every citizen in our nation. From their look, they were poorly handled despite being in the custody of the federal government of Nigeria.

The offence being alleged against these suspects, including minors, is protesting against bad governance that was directly affecting their livelihood and which our constitution under a democratic dispensation guarantees them.

”Curiously, most of the people in government today leveraged this aspect of the Constitution standing as champions of good governance while in opposition. Moreover, our status presumes that suspects deserve some dignity, even in a correctional home as human beings. The reason why we should all be concerned about a situation like this is because we are part of a global community where human dignity should be respected.

 

”May I appreciate the presiding lordship for halting the trial and saving the country further embarrassment it would have been to the World as a democratic nation? I would like to call on relevant authorities, especially the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federation, the Police, and the DSS, as well as the National Human Rights Commission, to thoroughly investigate such inhuman treatment of minors to avert such incidents in the future.”
